Eric Cartman and Archie Bunker are two iconic characters from television who are... racist, despicable, and yet beloved. Working up a small scale IMDb poll on this. Can anyone suggest one or two more similar (lead not minor) characters?

Haven't formulated the actual question. Any suggestions other than favorite will be welcomed.

@tsarstepan,
Added Colleen Donaghy, Jack Donaghy's mother from 30 Rock to the list.

So far, what I have for the text of the list:

One is a perpetual miscreant psychopathic youth and the other, a cranky, stubborn sociopathic old fart. Both are racist, sexist, whingy creeps.

Both are worshipped for their uninhibited biting wit and humor.

Lord have mercy on those fools who cross their paths and irritate them.

Whose barbed tongue do you fear the most?

CONTEXT FOR FURTHER SUGGESTIONS:
For now, I'm not going to consider adding Dr. Gregory House or Sheldon Cooper for now. They have some endearing qualities and they're not racist (but they do have traits of sexism).

@tsarstepan,
Was Ralph Kramden from the Honeymooners racist?

@farmerman,
Assuming you mean Fred Sanford? He was pretty racist if I remember correctly.

Added to the list.

@maxdancona,
Larry David was a jerk even an unlikable one. But can he be considered monstrously jerkish? Can't remember him being an overt racist. Just a bumbling fool who by accident may appear to be racist to others by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
